Sometimes you come across the perfect situation for those phrases that find their way into our vocabularies.
Take the case of the man who was obviously making changes to his living arrangements. He first caught my attention when he made a precarious turn into the lane of traffic in front of me.
Precarious because the back of his pickup truck was piled high with a bureau, chairs, bookcase, and mattresses. The household furnishings were lashed together haphazardly - the attempt at restraint obviously insufficient to prevent any one item from toppling over the edge.
As I got closer, my attention was drawn to a metallic gleam - and I realized the man had truly taken everything including the kitchen sink!
